According to reports, the upcoming 2023 Mitsubishi Triton truck will be equipped with the latest plug-in hybrid technology. The Pajero SUV will feature the same configuration, reportedly. This will result in a much-needed fuel-efficiency boost for the new Triton. Mitsubishi says it is considering a variety of plug-in hybrid powertrain options at the moment.

This includes three- and four-motor configurations for high-performance versions. We do not yet know everything. The Triton truck, on the other hand, may use the same hybrid system as the Eclipse Cross. What we do know is that the Mitsubishi Triton will undergo significant changes. The sales will commence later in 2022.

Mitsubishi Triton Exterior Overhaul

New 2023 Mitsubishi Triton is expected to resemble similar to the Mi-Tech concept from the Tokyo Motor Show. This concept made its debut two years ago. Despite the concept’s weird buggy appearance, their front and rear fascias contain unique and fascinating design characteristics.

Mitsubishi’s future vehicles, such as the Triton truck and Pajero Sport SUV, may have similar design aspects. As a result, we anticipate a more futuristic and sophisticated Triton pickup. Naturally, the company will introduce new exterior colors, wheels, and stylistic cues. We don’t have to mention a completely new front fascia and new taillights in the back.

Interior Changes

The cabin of the new 2023 Mitsubishi Triton will be updated. The Japanese automaker will begin by introducing a larger infotainment touchscreen. Additionally, the new infotainment system will feature a redesigned user interface and a faster response time.

Furthermore, Mitsubishi will upgrade the upholstery. The cabin’s design is unknown at the moment, although the seating configuration will remain the same. While new safety features may be optional, Triton will almost certainly contain a slew of other goodies. Customers should generally anticipate a higher level of comfort and more standard equipment. Overall, the interior will provide more features, a higher level of comfort, and better safety ratings.

Hybrid Powertrain is in the Works

The 2023 Mitsubishi Triton is being developed in collaboration with Nissan and Renault. Mitsubishi’s current plug-in hybrid system consists of 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and twin electric-motor setup. According to reports, the motors will add around 80 horsepower and approximately 100 lb-ft of torque.

Moreover, a high-performance variant gains almost 100 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque. Standard equipment will include a 13.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. With a more powerful PHEV system, the Mitsubishi Triton Hybrid will be able to haul more and consume less fuel. This is not official yet, so we are waiting for Mitsubishi to reveal more details.

2023 Mitsubishi Triton Price, Release Date

The forthcoming 2023 Mitsubishi Triton will debut in 2022, most likely next summer. Additionally, the price will be lower than before, approximately $40,000. It will be the greatest Triton yet, and it will be available in other markets as the “L200” model as well. The carmaker will provide more information closer to the truck’s release date.

According to the most recent reports, the new 2023 Mitsubishi L200 will gain a complete overhaul. However, the L200 truck, on the other hand, will receive a mid-cycle facelift. Rumors of a significant makeover are unlikely to materialize in the near future. The L200’s successor is slated to commence production in 2022. Prior to then, Mitsubishi will make only the modifications necessary to keep the pickup truck competitive.

From what we know, the L200 truck will undergo minor cosmetic upgrades in addition to improved fuel economy ratings. Furthermore, the cabin will gain some interesting updates. However, substantial speculation continues to surround the hybrid powerplant. Mitsubishi will unveil its new model at some point next year.

2023 Mitsubishi L200 interior

Mitsubishi L200 Exterior Redesign

Leave the external redesign to the professionals, as the 2023 Mitsubishi L200 will arrive with minor cosmetic improvements. The 2022MY will have a more modern and appealing appearance. However, the truck will undergo some modifications in 2023. These are minor improvements. The truck’s dimensions and shape will remain intact.

The L200 model is 205.2 inches long and 70.2 inches tall. However, the automaker also offers a two-door and a four-door body design, each with its own distinct look. The revised sheet metal, as well as the sharper front fascia, are seen in the spy photographs.

2023 Mitsubishi L200 redesign

What About Engine Specs?

The 2.3-liter turbodiesel engine will power the next 2023 Mitsubishi L200 in Europe. The four-cylinder unit generates 145 horses and 295 lb-ft of torque. In Asia, the L200 is offered with a larger 2.4-liter diesel engine capable of 180 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque. Both versions are available with a standard two-wheel-drive system or with an optional four-wheel-drive arrangement. The optional engine is capable of towing 7,500 pounds. Mitsubishi will offer a range of gasoline engines aimed at a diverse range of markets.

Customers, on the other hand, are less likely to purchase gasoline-powered variants. At the present, the hybrid version is a rumor. The hybrid technology, according to reports, would be identical to that seen in the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. The L200 will almost certainly include a diesel-hybrid powertrain, so anticipate something truly unique from Mitsubishi. It will undoubtedly be an excellent enhancement for the L200 vehicle.

2023 Mitsubishi L200 Price, Release Date

The approaching 2023 Mitsubishi L200 will be priced similarly to the old model. This keeps the $30,500 starting price. Nissan’s new Navara and Renault’s Alaskan pickup will also compete. The Ford Ranger will be the first mid-size pickup truck with a hybrid drivetrain. Even though L200 PHEV is not officially official, it should cost around $40,000.

The L200 truck is slated to appear in dealerships in the second half of 2022, with the option of a hybrid powertrain. Finally, a relatively new Barbarian variant will be available. This is Mitsubishi’s new flagship model. This means it will be more luxurious, aggressive, and capable of off-roading. As you probably know, L200 is available as the Triton model in some other countries.

The upcoming 2022 Mitsubishi L200 is about to embark on a new series. The manufacturer prepares a lot of changes and some of them are significant. According to several reliable sources, the new L200 will be the next-generation model. Mitsubishi’s new-generation L200 pickup truck is expected to be released later in 2021, as development has already begun. We know a few things about this model and its novelties right now.

Some bits, on the other hand, will remain a mystery until Mitsubishi reveals more details. In any case, we anticipate brand-new architecture and various interior changes. Furthermore, the Mitsubishi L200 will offer improved ride quality, increased protection, and likely a new powertrain alternative. The L200 truck is also known as Triton in some other parts of the world.

Mitsubishi L200 Specs

The 2.4-liter engine will remain standard on the 2022 Mitsubishi L200. This is a diesel powertrain that delivers solid figures, but we anticipate a new engine with more power. Aside from an all-electric powertrain, anything is a possibility at this stage. A hybrid version of the L200 truck may be a game-changer. Mitsubishi, on the other hand, has yet to comment on the outcome.

Another familiar engine that should be available again is the 2.3-liter dCi. The engine is the same as that used in the Nissan Navara pickup truck. Again, consumers do not like 150 horsepower from the new-generation L200 model, so some sort of electrification is a very likely outcome. Of course, the goal is to deliver more power and better fuel efficiency.

2022 Mitsubishi L200 specs

Exterior Redesign

New 2022 Mitsubishi L200 will be redesigned before it hits the market. The entire exterior will be changed and upgraded. The new generation has been in place for around seven years, so now is the ideal time for drastic visual updates. To begin, the L200 truck will sit on a new architecture. As a result, small dimensional changes are possible, and the L200 will slightly grow in size.

Mitsubishi will continue to offer a recognizable design language, but we expect the manufacturer to introduce a couple of novelties. The F-Alpha platform, which underpins the Nissan Navara variant will provide better ride quality. Additionally, this truck will introduce new exterior paints and all-new front fascia.

2022 Mitsubishi L200 redesign

Interior Updates

The interior of the forthcoming 2022 Mitsubishi L200 could see a couple of changes and upgrades. The cabin design and its new features, on the other hand, are perhaps the most mysterious aspects right now. As previously said, the new platform would offer improved comfort, but Mitsubishi will also provide new upholstery. Mitsubishi plans to have more high-quality materials in all trim levels.

The base trim level will offer basic stuff, but real luxury can be found inside the upper trim levels. One thing that must be carried over is the interior’s practicality and functionality. If Mitsubishi will pair this with new modern features, the L200 would be a huge hit.

2022 Mitsubishi L200 Release Date, Price

Next-generation models are often more expensive than new models. The 2022 Mitsubishi L200, on the other hand, would most likely have the same price tag. To manage better sales and revive its legendary truck, the manufacturer will maintain the price. Having said that, the current model would cost about $31,000. Later this year, Mitsubishi will introduce the next-generation L200 pickup truck, including the Triton model.

The upcoming 2022 Mitsubishi Triton is getting further changes and upgrades. This time, changes are more dramatic. As you probably know, Triton’s sales are not so great at the moment. Whatsoever, we heard a lot of speculations regarding the end of its production. However, Mitsu is willing to give it another try. Significant changes are a must and everything will start from the new architecture.

This platform will be able to accommodate a hybrid system, so Triton could get some sort of electrification. Another great news is the diesel V6 engine that will be on offer too. The Japanese manufacturer will also provide a couple of essential visual upgrades and interior updates. The sales will most likely begin in the last quarter of 2021.

2022 Triton Facelifted, Gets New Colors

The 2022 Mitsubishi Triton will ride on a new platform. It is the architecture made by the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance and the goal is to provide better ride comfort and possibly a hybrid powertrain. Thanks to that, the new Triton will be slightly longer than its predecessor. On top of that, Triton will gain cosmetic changes, but its recognizable shape will remain.

This pickup truck will arrive with sharper lines and a sportier stance. The rear section will get new taillights, according to reliable sources. The front fascia will also host a couple of upgrades, but we’ll have to wait and see which parts are updated. New exterior colors are another possibility so Triton will hit the roads with a refreshed look.

Interior Changes

In terms of interior upgrades, the 2022 Mitsubishi Triton will gain larger touchscreen options. Both standard and optional infotainment displays are larger, but we can’t confirm their size. Mitsubishi will also introduce new upholstery, but we are talking about the standard cloth seats. New model is longer so the interior legroom will be slightly improved too.

Thanks to the new platform, Triton pickup will also arrive with a smoother and quieter ride. Generally, comfort is better and the driving experience is significantly improved. Finally, this model will introduce new, but optional driver-assistance aids.

2022 Mitsubishi Triton interior

What About Engine Options?

The most significant changes will happen under the bonnet. The 2022 Mitsubishi Triton will most likely gain its first hybrid powertrain. It is the same hybrid setup that currently powers the Outlander PHEV SUV. You can read a lot of rumors regarding the same hybrid system that will Mitsubishi Pajero offer.

However, this is just another speculation, less likely to happen. We can’t confirm how much power will the Triton Hybrid variant develop. On the other hand, the manufacturer plans to offer a turbodiesel V6 engine, which is another great news. The gasoline V6 engine is a must, but we’ll just wait for Mitsubishi to reveal more details.

2022 Mitsubishi Triton engine

2022 Mitsubishi Triton Price, Release Date

The price of the next 2022 Mitsubishi Triton will most likely start at about $40,000. In reality, the price will be slightly lower. Triton will go on sale in the United States as the L200 model. Mitsubishi plans to launch its famous pickup truck later in 2021.

After the last-year update, which has brought a lot of interesting novelties, we are pretty sure that the 2021 Mitsubishi L200 will come without more important changes. Simply, the current generation has been around for about five years and if we consider typical production cycles of pickup trucks, there is no doubt that it will remain in production for a couple of more years before we see a complete redesign. This makes perfect sense, considering that the current generation has recently got new styling, a new engine and other updates. Also, sales numbers are still pretty good, so there is no need to rush.

Therefore, you may count on a pickup truck that looks very attractive, that is versatile and offers strong working capabilities. Off-road performances are at a high level too, while we also like the fact that the cabin offers a good level of comfort and decent sound insulation. All in all, we presume that the 2021 Mitsubishi L200 will come in a typical time of year, sometime in the last quarter of 2020.

2021 Mitsubishi L200

2021 Mitsubishi L200 Design

As we’ve just mentioned, no one expects to see bigger changes for the next year. The last-year update has brought a lot of interesting novelties and there is no doubt that the current model can remain fresh for another couple of years. The 2021 Mitsubishi L200 will carry on with the same styling, which now follows the brand’s latest design language, commonly known as “Dynamics Shield”. This design language perfectly fits the truck design and the vehicle looks bold, capable and very modern. We can easily say that this is the best-looking model in the segment. Therefore, there is no doubt that the best we can see for the next year are things like new color options.

Interior

The same thing goes for interior design. The last-year update has brought a couple of tweaks, though the overall cabin layout has remained largely the same. The dashboard looks good, while the rest of the cabin features quality materials as well. You may count on a typical truckish driving position, while visibility is good in all directions. Sound insulation is very good, while seats are massive and supportive.

2021 Mitsubishi L200 Interior

The 2021 Mitsubishi L200 will be available in a double cab configuration and this model features two really spacious rows of seats, despite that this truck is among smaller ones in the segment. Also, we particularly like the fact that the list of standard equipment is more than decent and that it includes loads of tech goodies, including a quite intuitive infotainment system.

2021 Mitsubishi L200 Engines

Big changes came last year with the mid-cycle updates. Mostly because of emissions regulations, the well-known 2.4-liter turbodiesel has been replaced with a new 2.2-liter unit. The new engine is more environment-friendly, but it is also slightly weaker. Still, most drivers won’t notice this difference, especially if the engine comes in pair with an automatic transmission. The manual is also in the offer. The new engine delivers around 150 horsepower but more importantly, max torque is at the same level as on the bigger 2.4-liter engine. In numbers, that would be 295 pound-feet of torque. Another important thing to mention that max power and torque are now available at 500 rpm lower, compared to the older engine.

The power deficit isn’t that notable, especially if you care more about utility. You may count on the same max towing capacity. It goes around 3.5 tons, while the max payload goes around pretty respectable 1.080 kg.

2021 Mitsubishi L200 Price

2021 Mitsubishi L200 Release Date and Price

We expect to see 2021 Mitsubishi L200 sometime in the last quarter of the year. The price largely depends on the market. For example, the UK model starts around 25.000 pounds. Key competitors are models like Toyota Hilux, Nissan Navara, Isuzu D-Max etc.

Once upon a time, there was a mid-size pickup truck called Mitsubishi Raider. It hasn’t been in production for too long, wasn’t particularly popular either. However, it has a really good name, which could be used once again. While the L200 is doing pretty well overseas, it seems a little bit too small for the North American markets. Still, the Japanese manufacturer doesn’t want to look a nice piece of cake called the mid-size truck segment, which is growing pretty rapidly these days. It looks like they are planning a new pickup for the U.S. market, which will be called the 2021 Mitsubishi Raider.

At this point, this is just a rumor. We are still waiting to hear something from the officials on this matter. However, various unofficial reports suggest we could see this truck on the market already in the next year.

2021 Mitsubishi Raider featured

2021 Mitsubishi Raider Design

The first thing that comes to mind about the 2021 Mitsubishi Raider is the platform. The company is aiming for something bigger than the L200 and as Mitsubishi is now a part of Renault Nissan Alliance, the answer is just around the cornet. Yes, you may presume that the 2021 Mitsubishi Raider would share a lot of things with the upcoming Nissan Frontier, which will be redesigned after full 15 years. The two models will share the platform and lots of parts. This particularly refers to mechanics, while each model should come with its own styling approach.

Speaking of the styling, we presume that the new Raider would take a lot of inspiration from models like L200 and Eclipse cross. This particularly refers to the front end, which should be largely the same, full of those attractive bold lines and lots of sharp angles.

2021 Mitsubishi Raider concept

Interior Design

When it comes to interior design, it’s still early to talk about details. Still, there is a big chance to see this model sharing styling solutions with the new Frontier. This particularly refers to the dashboard design, which should feature same basic contours, but several exclusive details as well. In any case, we count on a modern dashboard, full of fine materials and attractive design solutions. Of course, the presence of the latest tech goodies should make everything look even more opulent.

When it comes to cab layouts and bed sizes, we count on a couple of different configurations. Both single and double cab designs are expected, the extended cab seems possible as well. The bed length will probably depend on the cab layout only.

2021 Mitsubishi Raider Engines

When ti comes to the powertrain, we presume that the base model will come with some four-cylinder engine, though the details are still unavailable. On the other side, higher trim levels will probably come with Nissan’s new 3.8-liter V6 engine, which puts out pretty respectable 310 horsepower. Still, the most interesting part of the 2021 Mitsubishi Raider will probably be a hybrid version. We presume that the Japanese manufacturer, which is famous for its hybrid technology, will probably offer a PHEV version of this pickup truck. It will probably be based on a four-cylinder engine. It probably won’t be particularly strong, but we have no doubt it will be very efficient and that it will feature impressive emissions ratings.

2021 Mitsubishi Raider Release Date and Price

The 2021 Mitsubishi Raider may arrive already in the next year. Still, we have to say that this truck is just a rumor at this point and that we are still waiting to hear something from the officials on this matter. If it arrives, we presume that base versions will go around 25.000 dollars.

If we can rely on the latest reports, the next generation of this pickup truck is about to come with many significant novelties, including a hybrid powertrain. Those are the latest news we can find on the network these days. Besides the electrification, we are also about to see significant changes in terms of design. Considering that Mitsubishi is now part of the Renault Nissan Alliance, there’s no doubt that the new model will have a lot in common with Navara. The two models are expected to ride on the same platform and share most of the mechanics. The 2021 Mitsubishi Triton will certainly come with a hybrid powertrain. Moreover, we expect the same from Navara as well, although there is still no official confirmation.

2021 Mitsubishi Triton PHEV

2021 Mitsubishi Triton Redesign

Of course, the most important part of the upcoming redesign will be the fact that it will ride on a new platform. Most reports suggest an updated version of Nissan’s F-Alpha platform, which definitely isn’t a bad thing for 2021 Mitsubishi Triton, considering that even the current-generation Navara features probably the best driving characteristics when it comes to the balance between comfort and capabilities. On the other side, we expect from the new Triton to come with its own styling, based on the brand’s latest design language. This particularly refers to the front end, where we expect further development of current styling philosophy.

When it comes to the interior design, the new cabin will certainly come with finer aesthetics. Also, we count on a little bit more space, considering that the new model will probably feature a slightly longer wheelbase. Of course, other things that come to mind at the moment are various novelties in terms of tech features, as well as more features in terms of comfort, convenience and safety.

2021 Mitsubishi Triton

2021 Mitsubishi Triton Gets Hybrid Version

Another huge novelty we expect to see from the next generation is a hybrid powertrain. Considering that Mitsubishi is well-known for amazing PHEV systems, we have no doubt that the new version will be a plug-in hybrid. At this point, it is hard to talk about details. Still, everything indicates that the new truck will feature a similar system to the Outlander. This means a system base on a 2.4-liter gasoline engine, probably with a bigger battery pack and a more powerful electric model. Such upgrades would provide better performances and also a longer all-electric range.

Nissan’s or Mitsubishi’s Engines

One of the most intriguing things about this redesign is the powertrain choice. Logically, the new 2021 Mitsubishi Triton would use the Nissan’s and Renault’s engines, in order to reduce production costs. However, Mitsubishi has one of the best engines in the class. Of course, we are talking about a 2.4-liter turbodiesel. It comes in two output variants and which is one of the most fuel-efficient engines you can find in any mid-size pickup truck. On the other side, there is Renault’s excellent 2.3-liter dCi engine. This is also a great unit, both in terms of power and efficiency.

2021 Mitsubishi Triton Hybrid

When it comes to gasoline engines, things are a little bit clearer and we believe that the 2021 Mitsubishi Triton will probably use an updated version of Nissan’s familiar 2.5-liter unit.

2021 Mitsubishi Triton Release Date and Price

It’s still early to talk about these things but some reports suggest we could see the new model already as 2021 Mitsubishi Triton. On the other side, many believe that the redesign won’t happen so soon. It is likely that the current generation will carry on for a couple of more years. The current model goes in a range from 22.500 to 52.000 AUD dollars. So, we may expect similar things from the next-generation model as well.

Better known as the L200, this mid-size pickup still uses the old Triton name in certain parts of the world, such as Australia, New Zealand and Thailand. It has been around for years and still represents an important name in the business. The current generation was introduced four years ago and considering that the competition is getting tougher these days, it’s no wonder that 2020 Mitsubishi Triton comes with nice updates.

It is a typical facelift, which brings a significantly more attractive front end, as well as a couple of other novelties. On the other side, the engine lineup, as well as the interior design, remains the same.

2020 Mitsubishi Triton Facelift

2020 Mitsubishi Triton Changes

The most important changes for the 2020 Mitsubishi Triton are those in terms of the styling. There is a completely new front face, which is now adapted to the company’s latest design language. The new front end closely resembles the company’s latest crossovers, such as Pajero Sport, Eclipse Cross, and Xpander.

Changes include much sharper headlights and bumper design, as well as a new grille. On the other end, you can notice new taillights design, borrowed directly from the Pajero Sport. The rest of the truck remains the same, although there are details like new color options, wheels etc. While the styling has been significantly updated, the mechanics are pretty much the same.

Interior

This update brings a lot of novelties to the exterior design. On the other side, interior changes are minimal. The overall cabin design remains practically the same. The biggest change is a slight revision of the center console. Rest of the cabin remains the same. This means a rather functional cabin, which doesn’t feature too much refinement.

Inside this truck, you won’t find many areas with fine, soft-touch materials. Most of the cabin is made of hard plastics, which seem durable and promise years of use. On the other side, no one can deny the lack of tech features. Pretty much all essentials are here, though not all of them are part of standard equipment.

Safety

The 2020 Mitsubishi Triton comes with a couple of interesting novelties in terms of safety. There are some new, advanced safety systems in the offer, including things like emergency braking with pedestrian detection, 360-degree camera, blind-spot monitoring, hill descent control etc.

2020 Mitsubishi Triton Engines

This update won’t bring changes under the hood, so you can count of familiar engine options in the offer. Of course, the most common engine choice is an efficient 2.4-liter turbodiesel, which delivers quite impressive 180 horsepower, considering the engine’s displacement. Therefore, the Triton is pretty much on par with rivals in terms of performances.

On the other side, it features probably the best mpg ratings in the class, even better than Isuzu D-Max. Other than this popular engine, there is also a familiar 2.5-liter gasoline engine, which is good for about 160 horsepower.

On some market, you can also find an older-generation 2.5-liter turbodiesel, which delivers around 110 horsepower. A smaller 2.2-liter diesel is also available in certain markets. This one is good for about 150 horses.

After the recent, pretty intense update, we are pretty sure that the 2020 Mitsubishi L200 will continue without bigger changes. The popular mid-size truck has been one of the key players on the market for years. However, it always struggled to get close to segment leaders like Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger. The things could easily change after the recent update. The new model came with updates in many aspects, starting from a new styling, new suspension setup and a bunch of new driver aids. All this clearly indicates that the 2020 Mitsubishi L200 changes will be minimal. Expect to see the upcoming model sometime late in the year.

2020 Mitsubishi L200 Design

In terms of base 2020 Mitsubishi L200 specs, there is no room for changes before the redesign. The pickup truck has been essentially unchanged since 2015, but the recent update has brought some pretty important novelties. First of all, there is a new styling. Of course, the focus was on the front end, so the new version comes with a completely changed front face. Most parts are new and the truck takes a lot of inspiration from models like Eclipse Cross, XPander and similar models. Besides the new front end, this model also came with novelties on the backside. You can easily notice new teardrop taillights, which characterize pretty much all newer models in the company’s lineup.

Besides significant visual updates, Mitsubishi also made some pretty important mechanical changes. There is a new suspension setup, which provides a much better driving experience, especially when it comes to comfort and overall on-road ride quality.

We should also mention that this model is available in more than 150 countries and that some of them are still waiting for the new model. In these markets, we can talk about the 2020 Mitsubishi L200 facelift, practically.

Interior

The cabin hasn’t changed too much with this update. The overall layout remained pretty much the same and the 2020 Mitsubishi L200 will continue in the same way. However, that’s not a bad thing at all. In fact, this is a quite decent cabin, with a decent overall quality. Materials may be mostly hard plastics, but all of them seem very durable and that’s the L200’s main purpose – to be functional and to last long.

2020 Mitsubishi L200 Changes

We didn’t see many visual changes, but updates in terms of new features have been significant. This particularly refers to safety features. The new model now comes with a full load of advanced systems, including things like forward collision, blind-spot warning, lane change alert, rear cross-traffic alert etc.

Powertrain

Things under the hood will definitely remain the same for the next year. Keep in mind that this truck is sold all over the world, so 2020 Mitsubishi L200 specs will differ, depending on the market. In Europe, most models will feature a 2.4-liter turbodiesel, which is good for about 180 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque and which delivers pretty impressive fuel economy.

In some other parts of the world, this truck will also come with an older-generation 2.5-liter turbodiesel under the hood. This engine comes in different power outputs, in a range between 110 and 175 horsepower.

Finally, there is a gasoline version in the offer, which comes with a 2.4-liter naturally-aspirated unit, which is good for about 130 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque.

2020 Mitsubishi L200 Release Date and Price

Considering that there are no bigger changes to come for the next year, we expect to see the new model in a typical time of year, sometime in the last quarter. When it comes to the 2020 Mitsubishi L200 price, it will remain pretty much the same. Of course, it largely depends on the marker. For example, European models go around 21.500 Euros.
